so don't sell the united states of america short. don't sell the american people short just because this is an election year. they can tell when you're dealing straight with them or when you're playing politics. and right now there's no more time to play politics. in fact, i got a letter just yesterday from a west virginian. james in clarksburg, west virginia, talking about the summit. here's what he said -- i quote -- "it is time for responsible members of the senate to take to the floor and tell your fellow senators it is past time for us to take responsible action to address the fiscal crisis which is our responsibility to the people who sent us here." because it's just that. there is no excuse for delaying action until after the election. no excuse. to delay it just because of an election. madam president, james got it exactly right. there is no time to waste. look, i'm not naive. i understand that some of the choices we face are going to be hard for some of us to make. i know republicans don't want to talk about revenue. i know
